Star 009

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[So there are a few things to note, not the least of which is SAND EVERYWHERE, but Isaac is kinda bloody, red as a tomato, and sweating hard enough that all the sand that was caked to his face is being washed away. His clothes are damp with it. Isaac is being supported purely by his sword, but that doesn't last long as he soon keels over onto his side, breathing like a horse. He doesn't move.]

[Anyone who's played this game will share my sentiments of THAT FUCKING DESERT]

[She comes galloping over, nuzzling at his shoulder in concern.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Groans and rolls, blinking up at her through sand-crusted eyes] A..Aniki...Water?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She can't figure out how to bring him water, so she'll bring him to water instead. She tries to tug him to his feet, then lays down so he can get on her back more easily.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[It takes him awhile and he ends up forgetting about his sword, but he gets onto her back and holds around her neck]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[And she heads for the stream as fast as she can without dumping him. It's not long before they're in the woods and she's laying down again to let him off.]

Isaac!

[She will be holding you up now.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Toph?

[Pulls himself into a sitting position...or tries to. His voice is weak and dry.]

Do...do you have water?

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, just hold on a sec, okay?

[She disappears for a moment and comes back with a canteen full of water. She presses it into his hand.] Drink it slowly, okay?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He takes one mighty gulp, then several slower ones. He drains the canteen and then sighs deeply, laying back. He smiles a bit, but when he speaks, his voice is still rough. ]

Ahg! Thanks.

[his brow furrows; he usually knows better than to approach strangers, even those who appear harmless - but this isn't his world, and he looks so young, and soon Remus is kneeling beside him, wand out, murmuring] Can you hear me?

((that fucking dessert indeed))

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[It takes Isaac a moment to respond, but he nods, shifting to look at Remus with sand-caked eyes.]

Do..you have water?

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[after a second, he nods, pulling a flask from his robes and raising his wand, murmuring] Aquamenti. [a jet of cool, clean water erupts from the tip and spills into the flask, and he hands it to Isaac]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Isaac drinks it gratefully and flops back onto the ground] Thank you...

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Thankfully I never had the patience to get even that far, huzzah! Jolyne is hovering nearby, looking worried.] Hey, you alright?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Water....

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Not exactly having access to an easily-accessible water source back home at the moment, Jolyne will instead be unraveling part of her arm and reforming it into a makeshift basket. She will then be filling said basket with water from the Plane kitchen and offering it to Isaac.] Sorry, this is the best I can do right now.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Cue the Hallelujah chorus. Isaac drinks deeply and splashes the dregs of it on his face, looking infinitely more alive when all is said and done.]

Thank you!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Sees him and immediately drops from the Plane, coming back a moment later with a container full of water which she hands to Isaac.]

Drink it slowly, young one.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[He gulps a mouthful eagerly, then slows, sinking back to the ground and almost coming back to life right in front of her.]

Ahh...thank you!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, Isaac. But what in the world happened to you?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

An evil desert.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

[pops in, takes one look, pops back out and returns a moment later with a tall glass of water]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[....which Isaac proceeds to all but swallow. Whole.]

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

Don't forget to breathe.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Oh he's doing plenty of that, don't worry.] Ah...thank you.
